Probir Gupta Poet Lyric

The Pink Shadow

It is April
Under red lily
Peace moments go
In your pink shadow
In the face of spring
A chiselled grace
To embrace
Blue sky
Held in your wide eyes

Earth is moist
Green in the making
With cool rejoice
Handsome blue jay
Weaving golden rays
For the churns
In your urns
Murmurs galore
From the shore
We’ll walk hand in hand

Struggles there are
And will be too
Nevertheless
The scent of the dew
Tying me and you
Is for few moments
Let us gather grain
Any peak sip
We can reap
Let us do
For
It won’t come again

Richard Lamoureux April 28, 2016 at 9:24 AM This would have been perfect if not for the last two lines. If you had "for it won't" "come again" I'm sure Ed would have given it a high placement because it's one of the best I have read. I'm glad it was on the list! Probir Gupta April 28, 2016 at 12:03 PM Thanks for your analytical appreciation which I agree on absolutely.

Timothy Hicks April 2, 2016 at 9:15 PM Beautiful spring poem, Probir. I found the pink shadow imagery to be rather original, and the overall tone to be warm and inviting. Probir Gupta April 2, 2016 at 9:36 PM Thank you...
